Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System Chapter 78: Suzaku Guild, It's Family

Emily raised her eyebrow while Quartz laughed her ass off, "Are you kidding, Chibi? That brat that always plays gas all day?.

Even when the leader was still here, he always complained about him, and now you say he has a way to go through all that madness and horror?

You're kidding , Chibi." But her laughter disappeared when she saw Emily not laughing; she realized sothing was wrong.

"For real? Alex, that brat?"

"How did you know, Aunt Olivia? I thought most guild mbers looked down on my brother."

Olivia chuckled. "Because they don't know what he can do. The leader in the past told to teach him because his scores at school were not good.

But after I taught him for a while, I realized it was not that his scores were no good; he just liked playing with the scores as a challenge.

If you combine them, you will even find a aning from the numbers; it's like playing a puzzle ga."

"Brother did that?" Emily asked in disbelief.

She rembered how, in the past, her parents used to complain and even get angry at her brother. That was the first ti she started thinking her brother's abilities were bugged or broken.

Olivia then told her so stories from the past, and Quartz frowned, still not believing it.

After a few hours of talking, Emily invited them to have lunch together since they hadn't t for a long ti, despite the occasional contact just to inform each other they were alright.

Quart and Olivia agreed; they then ordered so takeout food since they were too lazy to go out.

While they were eating, Quartz asked, "By the way, where is Madam Luca? I haven't seen her since we ca here. I thought she would be excited to et us."

"Mom? Well, you should know we had a fight last ti."

Quartz's eyes widened. "Still?" she then sighed, "It's been years, Emily. You should just make up with Madam already. It's been harder for her than any of us; you should know best how close they were."

"Actually, I'm surprised Madam Luca hasn't gone there herself," Olivia said.

Emily's eyes widened in surprise. "Mom? Going there? You're kidding, right, Aunt?"

Olivia and Quartz looked at each other and then gazed at Emily with disbelief.

"You really don't know? Your mom has S-class power. She often went to the dungeon in the past, but her hunter rank is low since she hates reporting her achievents to the association."

"What? Mom, is that strong? She never told us anything."

Quartz's eyes then turned to respect and reverence. "Before you were born, she was active in the guild. She was like a war goddess in the field. Even compared to us, we were no match for her."

Olivia then put her finger to her chin. "I rember she retired after she got pregnant with Alex. That's probably why you don't know about it."

"She still could have told us. Next ti, I will ask her. Can you tell more about her?"

"Well, we also don't know much. You should have known we were young at that ti. All the veteran mbers should be around forty to fifty now." Quartz's eyes then grew distant as she rembered the past.

She lost her family to monsters and was rescued by the guild. Since that ti, the guild Suzaku has beco her ho.

Other guilds usually would just let the governnt take care of the victims. It's rare for a guild like Suzaku to exist.

In her eyes, Luca was like a saint.

She made sure every victim got adopted by a good family. If not, she would take care of them, giving them a roof, food, and even guidance to have a good future.

Not just Quartz, Olivia was also the sa. Both rejected adoption offers and instead chose to live in the guild.

Many mbers in the guild each have their own story, and Edward never judged any of them for it. Instead, he would help them with their problems if he could.

That is why the guild mbers are really solid.

Even when the guild disappeared, many of the guild mbers' wives and kids chose to stay in the building. Not because they wanted the facility but because the Suzaku guild was ho to them. It's their family.

Olivia's eyes turned misty from the talk. "I miss them all, Quartz."

"I know, Oli, I know, too," Quartz said in a solemn tone as she patted Olivia on the head.

Olivia's cheeks puffed out, and with a sharp, cracking voice, she said, "Don't touch my head, Quartz."

Hearing their conversation, Emily started to feel worried. She then rembered her mother's actions the last ti they t, and a bad feeling began to overwhelm her.

Her throat started to feel dry, but Emily didn't reach for the water on the table. Instead, she took out her phone and dialed her mother.

She was so worried that she forgot all the awkwardness and strain in their relationship.

The sound of the phone trying to connect rang in her ears, as in her mind, she kept repeating, "Answer , Mom... Answer , please."

Ti passed, but the connection never connected until it tid out. Emily's eyes started to turn misty, looking at the phone in her hand in a daze.

Olivia and Quartz realized sothing was off. They were just about to ask what happened when the phone started to vibrate.

Emily didn't even think twice before answering it. Hearing the voice from the other line made her feel relieved.

"Yes, Emily, you called? Did sothing happen?"

"No, Mom, I'm just checking," Emily said in a low voice.

Luca then heard a chuckle on the other side, "Checking? Now you rember your mom."

"Mom, it's not like I ever forget you."

"It's alright, I'm just kidding. Do you have sothing else, or should I end the call?"

Emily could hear many background noises behind Luca, making her ask, "Are you busy, Mom?"
